Europe is on the receiving end of the biggest movement of people since World War II, with more than 300,000 arriving this year, many fleeing war, persecution and poverty in the Middle East and Africa, according to AFP.

Hungarian government criticized Germany for easing asylum restrictions, which has attracted mounting numbers of refugees to head to Germany using Hungary as a route.

On Monday, Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said: “It is in our common interest that all member states abide by EU legislation. Order and legality must be restored at the borders of the European Union.”
